process com.google.process.gapps has stopped working error

I've searched for a fix for this error but all it brings up are like 100 page threads and I can't get to the exact page. Does anybody know how I can stop getting this to pop up? I've tried switching roms but the next one does it as well. Any tips?

Nobody knows a fix for this one?

For me, turning off Sync Browser in sync settings for my Google account fixed this problem. I am using a HP Touch pad though, but should be the same on any android device.

Same thing is happening on my touchpad when I click sync browser that comes up. Turning it off is fine with me thanks for the tip.

This happened to me occasionally when I was running a custom rom but since I updated to the next version of the rom and flashed gapps, it hasn't come back. There did not appear to be a reason or rhyme. I tried to reinstall chrome and gmail but not sure of the results. May want to try that.

process com.google.process.gapps has stopped working
I have the same problem. The only difference that I know exactly when happened and what is the reason.
I upgraded to JellyBean, but just before that I force stopped some running apps thinking of a "clear" upgrade (WRONG).
Then after the upgrade (I was rooted before it) I opened Titanium Backup and noticed that some applications were showing as uninstalled ???
I did not uninstall them - but somehow they ended up uninstalled after the upgrade.
I suppose this happened because I stopped those few processes just before upgrading.
Now the applications showed as uninstalled are: "DRM Storage Protected..." Media Storage" , "Gallery" and some more
All those missing now ... I cannot start Google Store at all !? It opens for a second and closes itself. Tried to restore those with Titanium Backup but it does not restore them ... just runs endlessly.
PLEASE HELP !

I would try to flash the factory rom, unless you are using custom, flash the custom with gapps.

Here's the most simple fix. Remove your Google account and add it again.

It's been driving me nuts.
As soon as my Nexus 7 boots I get the message.
I removed my Google account and re-entered my details.
The message popped up again as soon as the account was added.
I'm on the stock 4.2.1 rooted ROM.
Factory reset next without restoring a backup.
Speaking of backup. When I used the ADB restore command.
I had the message that my device will restart. It did. I then had the Restore screen on my Nexus 7.
I hit Restore my data button or whatever it's called, and my tablet reset immediately. And no data was restored to my Nexus.
It's seems that is broken too.

I cleared Data and Cache of Browser (my stock Browser) and error disappeared, problem fixed...

I'm having this issue as well. Started happening after I flashed Paranoid Android 2.99 Beta 6 and the current gApps zip.

Did you tried this? (Comment before yours)

Finally cured it on my stock rooted Nexus 7.
Factory wipe and didn't restore any system apps.
So far so good.
I tried every other trick in the book.
So in the end, a wipe was the only option.

I just solved this on my Nexus. It was one of the google apps having a sync issue. I solved it by turning each one off till the error stopped then uninstalling it and reloading it.

TWRP 2.3.3 installed via Goomanager.
With rooted stock ROM 4.2.1 I used GooManager to download latest Paranoid Android 2.99 Beta 9 and GAPPS-JB-20121011.zip.
Factory reset and wipe of Cache & Dalvik then flashed PA from Goomanager
Nexus booted into PA
Opened Goo manager and flashed the GAPPS I'd already downloaded.
Nexus boots into unlock screen but then says "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" and when that is cleared I get "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped" over and over again.
I don't get an opportunity to do anything other that re-boot into recovery.
I've re-flashed GAPPS by itself over the top, as well as PA and have tried, from within TWRP, to flash both one after the other. I always get the same errors.
Any advice please?
[Edit #1]
Used Wug's NRT 1.6.1 to flash back to stock, unlock and rooted again.
Installed Goo Manager again and downloaded GAPPS and PA 2.99 and going to see what happens.
and.....
Exactly the same problem!
[Edit #2]
Solved.
There was a later version of GAPPS that Goo didn't have listed.

How to fix Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped

Hi everyone, Just wanted to post this as I have found it to be useful for me.
I am sure some of you have seen this issue before or are experiencing it now. I have included a link to the youtube video.
what is the issue?
Recently after downloading the newest play store I started seeing an error message about unfortunately the process gapps has stopped working .
this was happening whenever i tried to add an account and when opening some of my apps including the browser and play store
.
it was annoying me but it would go away and the app would immediately open for me after so it was not that big of a problem.
I tried to solve the problem first by uninstalling updates to the play store in application manager
,
then by flashing roms and factory resetting
, however this did not help at all.
l
. finally last night at work my phone had three random reboots . my phone has never done that before
. I searched on google and found a very easy fix and once again my phone is like new
.
the fix.
settings/ application manager/scroll to left until you reach the all applications screen/ touch menu screen left of the home button/ reset app preferences.
here is the youtube link

Just wipe the data and cache, then flash rom and flash a new gapps package...there you go...:good:

Sure if you want to do a factory reset and are using a custom rom... I guess I didn't make it clear that this was for stock rom without having to wipe data. But to each his own whatever works

[solved]Play store crash/connection error

EDIT: Its fixed, flashed stock rom. cant delete the thread so it can be closed!
old_post said:
Hello everyone!
I recently got my first Android phone so im fairly new to all this.
(my phone: lg g2 d802 16gb model, rooted, stock 4.4.2)
I rooted it and froze some harmless apps(was very cautious not to freeze important ones) and everything worked fine. i downloaded some apps after i edited things(=playstore worked) the last thing i remember is change the clock widget on my lock screen(a stock widget) but i dont think this has anything to do with it eighter..
At one point i tried to download an app but the play store couldnt connect(even though i had an internet connection, rest worked just fine)
i read through the internet and tried multiple things:
-clear cache and data of the play store app + play services + service framework
-removed updates
-deleted and reinstalled it
-removed my google account(after this the app started crashing instantly probably because i froze sth thats needed to register a new google account or whatever, i dont know)
-checked my hosts file(only 127.0.0.1 localhost was in there, seems to be fine)
-made a factory reset: i really hoped this would fix it but it didnt. the app still crashes. after the factory reset i still found the supersu app on the phone(is the phone still rooted even though i did a factory reset?)
-removed my root access and did a factory reset again. additionally i logged in with a new google account so they google wouldnt use the data from my original google account(maybe there was sth that was causing it) didnt work.
Anyone has an idea what to do next? could flashing the stock rom help? whats the next step?
Thanks in advance!

Issues after installing the CM 12S update

Hi Guys.
I installed the CM12 on my Yureka following the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/general/discussion-yu-yureka-cm-12s-lollipop-t3084461
I downloaded the update from the first signed OTA link and followed the instruction to install. Did a factory reset and then wipe cache partition and Every thing went good and I could boot into CM12S.
Now my issues started. I could not install anything from the Play store as when I click on icon for play store, it says App not installed. I installed the rom again from the recovery. Still the same. Another issue that I get is for storage space. I get an error message in CM12 which tells me that I am running out of space and I need to ensure that I have atleast 250 MB of free space available. But when I check my storage in settings, I have more than 12 GB free. I am attaching screenshots for the errors that I am getting, kindly help someone.
By the way I tried installing the latest play store apk but get an error application not installed.

I too have issues with the lollipop update a super annoying one, not beinng able to pick up calls and notbe ing able to end one too. I posted the details here in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60169653&postcount=22).
If anybody has a method to roll back or have a AOSP/CM based 64bit ROM, I would love to hear that.

device became slow. hell slow
I updated my uyreka with latest ota update manually. But after installation with proper steps everything is working fine but device is now responding slow. Being more precise..hell slow.
I can install apps can play games but normal operation likenavigation opening apps lags a lot.
Frankly speaking i did not like this update. Wants to roll back.

Mobile became very Slow
After updating lolipop my mobile became very slow and the mobile charging time was increased ( Takes morethan 7 hours for full charging). Applications installed were slowly and wifi problem also. Battery drains very quickly.

For manual updates:
-like we used to do for custom ROMs, need to wipe cache.
-since this is an upgrade from 32 bit to customized 64 bit apk swappings, I think its better to do a factory reset

Troubleshooting
I have resolved some of the issues. You may head over to my thread for them.

Nothing is working. Tried to install the google play services apk provided in the troubleshooting link but could not install. Damn I can't even go back to the 32bit Kit Kat. That was far better than this version of CM12.

did you try clearing out the cache ? cleared the data ?? from the launcher , restart.
then also try wiping cache from the CM recovery . That usually resets everything back to original state that might help.
if not reset the entire phone. If nothing works at all , then flash the ROM again.
---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------
same answer , clear out all the cache , thats a main reason for most of the problems mentioned here .
clear out the cache , data , and try reseting the phone ..
if nothing works flash the ROM again, immediately after flashing wipe all the caches from the Recovery itself.
This usually 90% of the time works .

Bugs after installation of the new ota update
1>>>>the phone initially starts to lag a lot and even every app tries to behave diferently
2>>>the set gets a lot of heated
3>>>the dialer starts to be uninteractive to toches
4>>>there is a lot of battery drain during the network data usage as well as on wifi
5>>>after factory reseting through the cm recovery the issue was solved for some time and the ui became much responsive but after spendi g some time it tried to retain some of it's previous bugs..

This did not work. I have installed the rom three times and have wiped the cache from the recovery along with the dalvik cache too. Even that does not help.

How to check whether it's 64 bit or 32 bit?
The phone is lagging like hell BTW.

1. somtimes it happens after fresh install.. it should not come back after the initial use.. do you still have the same issue ???
2. thats kind of a common complaint...hopefully they are fixing it..i see that in YU forums also..
3. Yes I also have some ghost touches esp in the dialer... but it has reduced for me ..now it comes once in a day or none at all...
4.Battery drain may be multiple apps running on the background , all taking the background data , I am using data as well as wifi with calls too..
i dont face that much of drain issue ..
Use Advanced task manager , if you are not using G+ , clean manager , and other useless background running apps (even chrome) put in regular kill and increase the frequency. This hopefully will help
5. can you tell me which bugs have come back .. ??

See whats the background apps running. I found G+ , chrome , google app etc running even when i never opened the G+ or chrome.
use autokill so that the battery drain is lessened

J500FN some apps are force closing

Hello XDA Community, I have a problem. I was using Slim stock rom of @vaserbanix and I decided to install Xposed Franework and Wanam Xposed for Android 5.x.x I choosen some settings of that app and rebooted. Since that moment, some apps like Facebook, Amazon Shopping, Gmail and Google Keep don't work. When I open them, there's a message that the apps stopped, so there's a force closing of these apps. I tried to flash CM 12.1 and the problem in few apps was fixed, but spotify got a force close. I decided to flash the latest firmware via odin to restore the telephone, but the problem keeps appearing. I also tried to clean cache, dalvik cache and I cleaned cache of single application. I don't know what to do, the problem keeps appearing. Can you help me? Please guys

Well I don't have warranty anymore since I rooted it, and I don't want to pay that money. That's alot!

Okay, it seems that with CM 12.1 by Nick Verse I solved the problem. Anyway, I'm scared because on stock I think the problem will come again. I'll wait the new firmware 6.0.1 for J500FN when it will be out. For now I'll stay with CM
